Backing Up Shift Configurations
If you routinely make a backup copy of your shift configurations, you will
have a current version to use if you need to restore your system after a
problem.
COPY SHIFT
CONFIGURATIONS
You should also copy the system tables at the same time you copy the shift
configurations.
The system tables contain the agent directory and line
assignments CMS needs to interpret the shift configurations.
NOTE: If you plan to archive your historical data, you should copy
the system tables each time you make a change in your shift
configurations. That way you will have the correct system tables to
interpret each day’s historical data.
Both the shift configurations and
system tables will fit on one floppy diskette.
To make a backup copy of your shift configurations and system tables, follow
these steps:
1 Insert the diskette labeled “CMS Duplicate Copy” into disk drive A.
Instructions for making a duplicate copy are found in Section 3, “Your
6300 WGS and CMS.”
2 At the C> prompt, type the following commands to change to the
cmsmgmt directory (a directory within the CMS program) on the hard
disk. Press
[ ↵ ↵ ] after each command. (If you just exited to MS-DOS
from the CMS program, you will be in the cms directory. Skip the first
command below.)
C> cd cms
C> cd cmsmgmt
3 To get into the cmsmgmt directory on the floppy diskette, type the
following commands, Press
[ ↵ ↵ ] After each command.
C> a:
A> cd ems
A> cd cmsmgmt
4 To copy all your shift configurations from the hard disk onto the floppy
diskette, type
copy c:shift .cms a:
❈
5 To copy the system tables onto the floppy diskette, type
